Egyptians Stone Anti-Israel British MP Galloway
Reported: 08:37 AM - Mar/09/09
(IsraelNN.com) Egyptians stoned a humanitarian convoy at Rafiah that was led by anti-Israel British Member of Parliament George Galloway on Sunday. The incident occurred at El Arish, approximately 28 miles from the Rafiah border at Gaza. Vandals also wrote dirty words and anti-Hamas slogans, and several people in the convoy were injured in the attack, according to convoy organizer Yvonne Ridley, quoted by French news agency AFP.The convoy included 110 vehicles carrying nearing $2 million worth of goods. Egyptian officials delayed the convoy because it was carrying non-medical supplies that officials said must pass through Israeli crossings. Ridley said that MP Galloway is negotiating with officials and that its non-medical aid might be forwarded to Gaza through the Egyptian Red Crescent agency.
The convoy left Britain under police surveillance following MP Galloway’s attempt to include three terrorists in a convoy.
